Stockholm – Sweden

Grill – Cool restaurant located in a furniture showroom. Excellent food with a varied menu and as the name suggests, a rotisserie in the middle of the restaurant serving up grilled meats such as deer and beef burgers. (89 Drottninggatan, 11360 Stockholm / t: +46 (0) 8 31 45 30 / www.grill.se)

Kaffekoppen – Yes it’s on Gamla Stan, yes it’s touristy, but it’s also on an enchanting square and one of the nicest places for coffee or some Swedish apple cake. (20 Stortorget, Gamla Stan / t: +46 8 203 170)

Riddarbageriet – Great place for a coffee or quick brunch, with a mass of pastries and breads to choose from. (15 Riddargatan, Ostermalm / t: +46 8 660 3375)

BIKE HIRE:

Just over the bridge that connects Ostermalm with Djurgarden, is a wooden cabin shop where everything from pedalos to bicycles to kayaks is available to hire. Take a bike for a leisurely ride around the entire circumference of beautiful Djurgarden, then jump on one of the many ferries over to the Museum of Modern Art or visit the fair and amusement park on Skeppsholmen, before moving onto Gamla Stan. (Djurgarden, Stockholm)

Androuet – Cheese shop, specialiszng in French cheese but selling an array from all over the world, as well as clever take-away boxes with maps that highlight the best picnic spots in Stockholm. (6 Nybrogatan, 114 34 Stockholm / +46 (0) 8 660 5833 / www.androuet.nu)
